commission rates charged  
     
   
 
 
     
  The Competition Act is federal legislation that states there is no set or standard commission rate that is charged by a Real Estate Company. Our Brokerage, RE/MAX Crest Realty Westside, prides itself on being a full service brokerage and recommends that we charge appropriately for the high level of service that we provide to our clients. In exchange for a level of service that we believe is second to none in our industry, we charge 7% on the 1st $100,000 and 3.5% on the balance of the sale price. For example if you were to sell your property for $500,000, the commission would be $21,000. Since this is a service, 5%GST is also applicable (+ $1,050). So the total commission + 5% GST that is payable by the Seller on a sale of $500,000.00 would be $22,050. These are the Services that we offer when you list with us.  
 
The legal fees charged by most Lawyers and Notary's to transfer or sell a property are in the range of $850 - $1,000 + 5% HST. Please go to the Lawyers or Notary Public Link on our website to get future details from any of professionals listed.
